Filming Shots

Piano shot This shot is an extreme close up and demonstrates how the song is being played throughout. In our video we wanted to show snippets of the piano to show variety in how the video was created and the location in which it was filmed.	Cross Fade We used a cross fade between a piano shot and one of Lydia on the steps leading into the baths. This cross fade creates a divided shot so you can see what's happening more than one place at a time.	Long shot in corridor This shot is an example of a long shot and shows you the surrounding location whilst portraying the feeling of being lost.
Long Shot This shot contains the whole of Lydia's body from a side on view and is used to create a dramatic effect of not looking into the camera fully as she doesn't have the full confidence to do so.	Opacity Dissolve. This shot is cross dissolved together using a lower opacity to create the feeling of an almost split personality and allows us to look at Lydia in two different lights in one image.	Archway long shot This long shot is framed by the use of an archway and allows the feeling of vulnerability to be portrayed to the audience. It is also a dark shot so shows the other side to her that we were wanting to show other than the angelic, innocent side. This shot shows the more hurt side to the song as if this was the fire and the lighter shots were the ice which are mentioned in the song's lyrics.

When creating our filming shots I kept in mind about the rule of thirds and positioning because I wanted to keep the music video interesting. Placing the main focus (Lydia) in the central third can be quite static and boring however placing her on the first or last third can keep the music video interesting but can also allow room for the important background, an open space can create a look of feeling trapped which is something which we want to create. Also props in the shots where important because they needed to enhance the shots therefore I had to place them carefully. The lighting was also very important because I wanted to place her where the lighting highlighted her and drew attention towards her.
